Question

Imagine you are sitting on a sled and someone is about to push you down a hill. Which statement is accurate?

Answer 1

The answer is:

Forces acting on the sled are paired with equal and opposite forces.

The explanation:

About to push you, this means that he doesn't push yet. If the sled is on level ground and no one is pushing it, then forces are equal and opposite.

The gravity force pulls down and the ground pushes up.

This is Newton's third law:

Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A.

This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

We can also see Newton’s third law at work by taking a look at how people move about. Consider a swimmer pushing off from the side of a pool.

Answer 2

"Forces acting on the sled are paired with equal and opposite forces" is the one statement among the following choices given in the question that is accurate. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or the penultimate option. I hope the answer helped you.
